Thickness, strength and joints for a lot on clay
Deep clays that shrink and swell a great deal and carry little load make streets expensive to build and keep in repair, the 1992 McLennan County soil survey warns. The county's 2001 survey names what helps a street last: a heavier flexible base, lime stabilization taken deeper into the subgrade, and moisture barriers.
Thickness follows the traffic. ACI 330's thickness table, as NRMCA reprints it, gives car parking areas and access lanes 4.0 inches on a weak subgrade, and multiple-unit truck entrance lanes carrying 700 trucks a day 8.0 inches. For strength, NRMCA counts 4,000 psi at 28 days as enough for parking areas across most of the country.
Joint layout comes next. Square panels are the aim, and where that won't work the long side stays within 1.5 times the short one. Contraction joints go at least one-fourth of the way into the slab, and ACI documents cap their spacing at 15 feet whatever the thickness.
The building itself is covered under commercial concrete in Robinson, the walks to its doors under Robinson sidewalks, and everything else on the Robinson concrete page.

Plan for the loads
The heaviest regular traffic sets the pavement depth, and the joints are planned around the stalls and drive lanes.
Prepare the subgrade
The site is graded and the subgrade compacted into an even, firm bed, with forms set to the planned fall.
Pour, saw and cure
Concrete is placed and finished, contraction joints are sawn to the plan, and the lot stays closed until it has cured enough for traffic.

Questions about building a lot
Does a retaining wall along a new lot need engineering in Robinson?
Above four feet, yes. Robinson's permit page wants signed and sealed engineering plans for any retaining wall more than four feet high, and for retaining walls generally it asks for a plot plan marking where the wall will sit.
Why is the outer edge of a concrete lot thickened?
NRMCA recommends a thickened edge on the outside of slabs that carry wheel loads, usually built as an integral curb.
What happens if lot work in Robinson starts without a permit?
Robinson doubles the building permit fee for work done without a permit, under the fee schedule passed as Ordinance 2025-005 in March 2025. Ask the Permits and Inspections Department which permits a new lot needs before grading begins.
